Dark Net Markets (DNM) are online markets typically hosted as Tor hidden services whose users transact in Bitcoin or other cryptocoins, usually for drugs or other illegal/regulated goods; the most famous DNM was Silk Road 1, which pioneered the business model.
From 2013-2015, I scraped/mirrored on a weekly or daily basis all existing English-language DNMs as part of my research into their usage, lifetimes/characteristics, & legal riskiness; in addition, I made or obtained copies of as many other datasets related to the DNMs as I could.
All this data has been publicly released as a single 52GB archive covering 89 DNMs & 37+ related forums, representing <4,438 mirrors weighing ~1.6TB of raw data.
For detailed documentation on the contents, interpretation, and technical methods behind the scrapes, please see:
